Maine Masque to present ‘Almost, Maine’
The University of Maine’s dramatic club, Maine Masque, will present four performances of “Almost, Maine” on the Hauck Auditorium stage, April 6–9.
“Almost, Maine” was written by John Cariani, a native of Presque Isle, and premiered at the Portland Stage Co. in 2004. The play is made up of nine shorter plays that explore love and loss in the remote, mythical town of the title. The New York Times has described “Almost, Maine” as “a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism.”
Maine Masque is UMaine’s longtime student-run theatre group. Open to all students, Maine Masque’s primary goal is to support and produce theatre at the university. Each year, the Maine Masque presents one main stage production as part of the School of Performing Arts season.
Performances of “Almost, Maine” will take place at 7:30 p.m. April 6–8 and 2 p.m. April 9. Tickets are $10, or free with a student MaineCard.
